SATURDAY EVENING DECEMBER 8.

AL1yEM A CoFFIN.-A certain Under
taking firm on Main street have been NOV
ing their goods from the Walsh building 10
that of Jacobs. In the rear Of the latter
building they ned lot of untrimned cofhns
piled up just under q sky-light, the .op
casket being open. Yesterday one OF .ue
BOYS, for joke, crawled in the CONN anu
was lying there, peacefully reading' 'usI
above the skylight runs the porcn 81 t4e
lodging house TO the rear OF the store. III
the lodging house is young lady who takes
care of the rooms. About this time she ap.
psared on the scene, singing and as happy
as she could be. The young man 10 .ne
coffin heard her coming, dropped the paper
and lay perfectly still. The girl, all uocon-
scious of the cruel joke about to be perpe
trated, casually glanced through tne SKY,
light and her gaze rested on the casket and
tbe apparently dead man within. Her eyes
began to grow larger and peculiar
fascination held her to the spot.
The young man, almost dying with
suppressed laughter, WINGED his eye. The
girl gasped. Then he opened his mouth
and the watcher grew pale. he raised
his foot and her for.itude gave way. she
gave terrible scream and fell over falntlng
on the skylight, SCATTERING the gas ana Ike
wise SCATTERING the nerves oftho practical
Joker, who jumped suddenly up, aud over
went the funny mar, coffin and all, 10 Inc
floor fifteen feet below. The young man
was bruised and scared, while the alarmed
folks above picked Gp the III sensible girl,
and after ten minutes work succeeded 10
restoring her to CONSCIOUSNESS - CHICO, Cal

INTERESTING MEETING
OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HELD LAST
EVENING.
Besides the Routine Business the Report Of the Pitts
burg Architect is Read and Action Taken
Regarding 8 New School Build
ing in the First Ward.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Board of Education was held last evening
in the rooms of the Board i'll the Public
Library building. All the members, with
the exception of Messrs. Whally ana
Shafer, were present. The meeting was q
rather interesting n in several p~srticu-
lars. The report OF Mr.. PEBBLES, the Pitts
burg expert, regarding the condition oil
the First ward school building was sub
mitted, and, as surmised in the REGISTER
several days since, was of an ~unfavoraoie
nature, so much so in fact that steps were
taken by the Board last evening looking
to the erection of a new building and
securing new quarters tor the scholars
while it is being erected. After roll call
the minutes of the previous meetin g were
read, and, after several corrections were
made, ordered signed. The following
business was then transacted:
The Committee on Public Library re-
ported bills amounting in the aggregate to
S4l3. which were ordered paid. The Com
mittee also reported that 1t had decided
to continue the subscription to the same
papers and periodicals subscribed for last
wear with the exception of Puck being
omitted and Vide ATdke and Sc'ttner $
Mdqazine being added. The report was
adopted.
The Committee on Accounts reported
bills amounting to S229.44, which were
ordered paid.
Superintendent Anderson's usual month
" renort showed the following abstracts:
